THE LIE.

Of the inception and growth of this enter
prise the Georgetown Enquirer says:
1--WE claim the honor, in Georgetown, of be-
ing the projectors ofthis grand system, known,
at first, as the Georgetown and N. G. Narrow
Gauge Railroad. Syndicate after syndicate was
organized and failed. Finally one syndicate
was formed with sufficient financial strength
to take hold and give vitality to the enterprise.
No man connected with the road labored more
assiduously to bring together means and con-
ditions, than our fellow citizen DAVID fisley,
ESQ.,, and it is largely due to his indomltable
will that the weakling enterprise has grown 10
be a mammoth concern. But one sows ana an
other reaps."
The first accident OH the work in this yicini-
ty occurred last Friday afternoon by the cavlng
of a bank of earth in the cut in Hopes field,
on Miles Hunter, a colored laborer from Pine
Vile, N. G. The falling mass struck him ON
the shoulder, dislocating it and fracturing the
collar bone. Mr.. Gorton, on whose work the
accident occurred, Immediately ordered neces-
sary surgical attendance, and supplied him
with other needs. On Monday the wounde
man left for his home until he RECEIVERS. He
struck the first blow on Griffin & Gorton's con-
tract, and says he will be with them again as
soon as he gets able to work.
Messrs. Smith e. Lathrop commenced work
last Monday on their contract of six miles,
which begins five miles west of town and in
cludes a good deal of heavy work. They COM
menced with a full force Of laborers and teams
on the west side Of Bullock's creek, and though
they have been late in getting started, MIR.
Lathrop, who has immediate supervision OF the
work, is confident of being able to accomplish
his undertaking in due time. His general SUI
perintendent is Mr.. Sam. J. Hichins, who ar
rived on Friday from work the firm of Smith
& Lathrop is prosecuting on the North PACING
Railroad. Havingtaken a new contract on that
road, Mr.. Smith will remain there with their
stock and equipment, which at one time they
contemplated transferring to their work on the
Magnetic Line. Mr.. Iathrop's headquarters
will be at the residence of Mr.. John A. Byers.
Mr.. A. +. Mcconnell goes as his book-keepcr.
Among his foremen are Mr.. John B. Ross and
Mr.. George Gillian. Mr.. c. G. Parish has
fitted up a commissary Establishments supply
Smith Il Lathrop's force, which will be under
the management of James Ross and John NC
Neel.
The engineering corps of the Georgia and
Carolina Midland survey, Capt. W.. c. Whltner,
Chief Engineer, arrived here yesterday, hay1ng

nv to Smyrna Church, where, on the lands OF

few DAYS for the purpose Of working up their
notes.

AUTHENTIC SNAKE STORIES.

I 0n Wednesday afternoon George Brown, a
colored man who lives near Kings Mountain
Chapel, exhibited in Town a dead coach whip
snake, 4 feet in length, which he says attacked
him on the morning of that day. The alleged
offensive characteristic of this snake may be
apocryphal or not, but if its traditional reputa-
ton is correct it would seem to be of the con-
~strictor genus. George says the snake coiled
around his body and gave him several lashings
with it's tail before he succeeded in choking it.
1t is an authenticated fact that last spring, in
this same neighborhood, a snake of this same
species attacked a mule, belonging to Milton
Jackson, colored, and lashed it to death with
its tail. While on snake stories we copy the
following from the Greensboro IN. CO. North
State of last week
There was an interesting sight on the side
walk in front of the North State office yester-
day morning. Abe Gorrell produced a king
snake which had entwined itself with q mecca
sin, and killed it. When laid on the ground
the king snake carefully examined to see II the
moccasin was dead, and then unraveled him
self, holding tho head of the moccasin fast IN
his mouth. He then proceeded to swallow
him. This feat was performed in twenty min
utes. The moccasin was four times as thick as
the king snake. The latter was ~thirty-eight
inches long, and the former about thirty-four.
A large crowd witnessed this performance.

- Perry county, Ind, is wildly excited
over the defalcation and flight of Hinton
Miller, the county treasurer. He owes the
county $4,000 and private parties $4,000
more. The county safe, when opened, con-
tanned nothing of value. Following on
Treasurer Combs defalcation and impris-
onment last year, it is hard to find a new
treasurer, as bondsmen cannot be obtained.
Miller's bondsmen are trying to avoid the
liability. Floy Mason, q wealthy citizen,
will probably be induced to serve. To
make the matter more desperate, Prose
cutting Attorney Vance has %absconded,
having beer detected in bribing jurors.
Some of the latter will probably follow
suit. Vance was highly respected. He
